Jerry Sexton’s course is a discussion about the war with Iraq led by the US and 42 other nations after the invasion of Kuwait.  Operation Desert Shield, which marked the military buildup from August 1990 to January 1991, and Operation Desert Storm, which began with the aerial bombing campaign against Iraq on 17 January 1991 and came to a close with the American-led liberation of Kuwait on 28 February 1991. We will examine the events that led up to the war and the execution of the military campaigns. We also welcome input from any classmates who were participants in the war.
